Has anyone made a travel humi out of a varnished cigar box. I would assume varnished is better, because it will hold moisture better. Could you please post pics?

This cigar just melts in my mouth. I generally like a stronger cigar, but this one works just fine for me. Nice creamy, nutty very flavoful ciga... Read the full review here: Partagas (Cuba) 8-9-8 Varnished Cigar Review - smoooth as butter

This arrived today in the mail from Australia as part of a 'best of 2008' sampler. Alas, I don't know the date code. The comment from the chap who assembled this sampler: "God must smoke these" Quite frankly, I can't imagine a more enjoyable smoke. Perhaps I got lucky (and I deserve some...

Does this just refer to the type of box? (Can you tell I'm new at this?)

Setting: On a quick business trip to Istanbul, Turkey. Sitting on the 21st floor of the Plaza Hotel in the lounge; huge picture windows overlooking the city right near the main bridge that goes over the Bosporus. I'm on the European side of the city; across the bridge is the Asian side of the...

I know that there are a number of reviews of this particular cigar out there and that I probably should have just tacked this one on to one of those other reviews, but I feel that this particular cigar is so different from the more recent examples that it warranted its own thread. For those of...

If so, its the first varnished box I've seen (Trini Coloniales)...who else besides partagas (8-9-8) does varnished boxes?

Sorry no pix. This is my first 8-9-8 so I thought I would share my noob impressions. I enjoyed this one on the seawall looking out at Stanley Park on a nice crisp sunny afternoon. I sparked this baby up with my new Siglo torch and immediately the refined character of this baby came out. I...

This is an unbelievable stick....already has a year age on it. A must try

Famous must be trying to emulate the Cubans with these coming out with a "varnished" version. Check out the pic in the new catalog. I'm no expert but, I think It's the box that is supposed to be varnished. Looks like they soaked them in cooking oil. :r

Size: 6 3/4 x 43 Shape: Lonsdale Wrapper: Cuba Filler: Cuba Binder: Cuba So I bought 10 of these 2 months ago and they finaly dried out enough to smoke. There are a ton of positive reviews on this cigars. The construction was fair to good. The burn was not terrible but it did streak the...

I have been saving the Partagas 898 Varnished that Lance gave me for a special occasion, and last night was it. Detroit invited me to my first SkypeHerf lastnight. I was late because it was the first time I used Skype and it took 2 hours to download. By the time it was downloaded, I had...

I posted this in the following thread (http://www.clubstogie.com/vb/showthread.php?t=8924&page=2), however, I thought I might get a better response if I started a new thread. I was wondering, is it bad to put varnished boxes in a coolerdor (or even a humidor for that matter)? I noticed a lot of...

Well this newbie to the other side just had his first 898 varnished. Got to tell you that if I had this cigar say 10 years ago – I would most likely be a slobbering idiot living under a bridge selling my last drops of blood in order to obtain these. And it’s not too late for that to happen...

As you guys are aware the varnished boxes such as Partagas 898, Cohiba Reservas, panatelas etc come in a card board box. . I just wanted to see what the consensus was as to keeping the varnished box inside the card board box in your humidors or not. . I used to throw out the card board...
